Uses Lua:

This module holds various support tables used by Module:Lang

lang_name_table – this table provides language name data used in the creation of categories and, for the {{lang-??}} templates, the language name annotation
override – this table overrides data in lang_name_table; commonly used when an en.wiki article title differs from the name for the standard's language
rtl_scripts – a list of ISO 15924 scripts that are written right-to-left; data taken from the table at ISO 15924#List of codes
translit_title_table – a table of tables that is used in the creation of the title= attribute of the ‎<i>...‎</i> tags that wrap transliterated text; data adapted from {{transl}}
article_name – this table overrides lang_name_table and override for (typically) disambiguated en.wiki article names
